From "The Character of a Good Ruler", a seventeenth-century pamphlet by Samuel Willard (I'm retrieving it for a professor):

"Evil doers, and the mal-administrations of good ones, are punishments which GOD does inflict on a people that have provoked Him to anger against them. God gave Saul to Israel in His wrath, and he left David to number the people because His anger was kindled against Israel."

That explains so much...
